Make Room (Make-Up Room) is a new drama film about a fascinating topic: the people who do the make-up for porn stars.
It's written and directed by Kei Morikawa, and stars Aki Morita as the titular make-up artist, as well as three actual porn stars: Riri Kuribayashi, Beni Ito, Nanami Kawakami.
Originally a play by Morikawa, it promises to show the behind-the-scenes of the adult video industry. It gets a limited release in Japan in May.
It reminds us of an interview we once read with a man claiming to have worked for a while as a hair and make-up artist for porn stars in Japan, ...
Porn star Saki Otsuka turned herself into a photographer a little while ago now when she released her photography book "Mitsubai nude" in 2012. Since then she's produced quite an impressive body of work.
Once again working with ERECT magazine, the occasional publication with the best name in the world, Saki Otsuka has created "MEME", a touring exhibition of her work taking in Fukuoka, Osaka and Tokyo.
It's perhaps no surprise that Saki isn't shooting pictures of flowers or pretty landscapes. Her photography is dark and focuses a lot on naked flesh, including her own, it seems. The ...
When Yuzu Sakurai appeared in her first Japanese porn film at the end of last year, people were surprised that it was simultaneously announced as her last. At her debut, she was already retiring!
This "one-time-only" (ipponkagiri) debut has been common in the past too.
In Sakurai's case, people have speculated it was family opposition or simply her own curiosity. She just wanted to do one film and then move on.
Either way, she has a gorgeous G-cup and we suspect we'll be seeing more of her in the future.
Sometimes this is just a marketing stunt and they reappear later under a ...
Parody is a big part of the Japanese adult industry, which never takes itself too seriously and loves to create toys overtly (and unofficially) parodying something, whether that be a famous people, idol group, anime, and even drink products.
At the end of last year, a parody JAV title was made that had a lot of fun with the case of Ryutaro Nonomura. If you recall, he was the Hyogo Prefecture politician accused of having dodgy expenses and whose press conference justifying his actions descended into bawling.
His habit of putting his hands to his ears to listen to questions quickly went ...
Have you ever looked a homeless Japanese woman and wondered what it's like to have set with her?
Homeless Japanese Old Women Gang Bang finds out for you.
As we've written before, there's a whole series of these "homeless" porn films. The usual set-up is a pretty young girl is given to a group of homeless guys to do what they want to with her. Typically this means going into their shack and giving.
Likewise, Gonzo-style porn is a big thing in Japan. There are lots of quasi-documentary films where things never seem sure if they are real or set up.
We've ...
Japan's top jukujo Yumi Kazama shows now signs of slowing down with age.
Quite the opposite. Her latest release is Silver Dust Slave Soapland, probably one of her most extreme fetish titles yet.
As Kanojo Toys writes:
This rare new fetish porn title with jukujo older star Yumi Kazama sees the hot MILF coated in silver dust, transforming her into a unique sex slave at a soapland. Every inch of her gorgeous body is dusted in silver, her neck chained to a collar to stop her from moving. Only her eyes and orifices are left free and of course, they come in handy for the nakadashi creampie ...
Porn star Ai Uehara has many talents but did you know they also include rap?
In "REAL remix" Uehara has now lent her vocal skills to a song following her victory at the AV Open 2014 awards, which are voted for by the public. The track is by INCUBUS, who is the male rapper in the song.
The video itself is a weird mash-up of anime images of nubile girls, based on three porn stars, including Uehara. The lyrics sing the joys of being able to see the "real thing" (i.e. Ai Uehara) at the event, rather than just a video of her.
Take a gander.
It's also funny to hear words like "semen ...
This song became quite a talking point earlier in the year. A user called Toy Ron uploaded it to YouTube at the end of the year.
If you didn't see the title of the video you might be forgiven for thinking it is just an unusual drum and bass track. But this is a blog about sex and the erotic in Japan, so there's more to than meets the ear.
Listen carefully. That sound should recall the slurping sound of a fast-paced blow job.
The oral sex is all samples of actual fellatio performed by JAV porn Rio (aka Tina Yuzuki) in her vast catalog of adult titles.
Here Toy Ron ...
What a waste?! I hope they lock this guy up!
Sadly, police say they are unlikely to charge Hideaki Adachi, who was discovered dumping waste in a public park in Osaka City. This in itself is an offense but it's what he was dumping that has made the headlines: porn. Lots and lots of porn.
Adachi disposed of almost a quarter of a ton of pornography. After he was caught in the act, he claimed the stash was a friend's and he was getting rid of it.
How much is a quarter of a ton of porn? Apparently it's 17 sacks -- containing films, magazines, and 500 VHS video tapes (remember those?). He ...
We consider ourselves aficionados of some of the weirder sections of the Japanese porn canon. And let's face it, there are some oddities out there.
For example, in "World's Kinkiest Nude Library Challenge", an entry in the shuchi "shame" genre, a woman does crazy things while in a public library... totally naked, natch.
"Elf" sees a man have sex with a fairy-like girl with pointy ears.
"Daddy Quiz Daughter Sex" has a father tied up and forced to watch as his daughter is raped by men in masks if he gets questions wrong.
We think the titles of "Human Farm Cow Girls Orgy" and "Tokyo ...
